Toolbars keep resetting & draw order doesn't seem to work.

We've got a few custom lisp routines and setups loaded, but whenever I restart, the loaded toolbars disappear back to the defaults. The lisp routines are loaded and the cui is there but I have to keep bringing up the toolbars. Any ideas?
Also the draworder on the right click menu does not seem to be working. Is there a system variable that Im missing to turn that back on?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Toobars are part of the Workspace, so you have to save the Workspace after adding/changing toolbars for them to be retained.

Nestly's suggestion should help you, let us know if that is not the case.

If you go into your WSSETTTINGS and make sure the Automatically save workspaces changes is checked off.
If that doesn't work you can always save it to a unique name by WSSAVE.

Excellent ![]()
Do you have the Draworder command showing in the shortcut menu?
What happens when you click on it? Is there any message?
Have you checked the associated command in the CUI?
Does it work if you type the command?
Cheers,
Luciane

Strangely enough, the toolbar command says "unknown command" for each of the options.
When I type it in via the command line, the command appears to work normally.

Open the CUI window and find the shortcut menu and its associated commands. If you need assistance I suggest that you create a new post as this is a different topic from the original.
You can send me the CUI if you wish, let me know and I'll setup an FTP folder for you.

Did you recently upgrade and if so, did you elect to use the "migration tools"?
Regardless of that... paste this to the command line. What does it return?

Thanks for the help - This was a fresh install, but I did have a beta version installed where that problem was present too as I recall.
When I paste that in the command line I get a "nil"
